She Stood Up To Her Best Friend’s Boyfriend For Treating Her Like Trash In Front Of All Their Friends
One of the hardest things to watch is someone you love being treated terribly by their significant other.
This 28-year-old woman has a 27-year-old best friend named Sarah, and they have been besties for years.
Lately, she’s grown concerned about Sarah’s 30-year-old boyfriend, Jake, since he’s a really “toxic” guy.
Jake never misses an opportunity to make negative remarks about Sarah or put her down in front of other people, and she hates it.
Sarah laughs and maintains that Jake is just a jokester, but she knows better. Jake’s comments are beginning to negatively impact Sarah.
This past weekend, she hosted a little party at her home, hoping it would be an enjoyable evening for her and all of her friends.
Sadly, Jake really ruined the whole mood, and it didn’t take long at all.
“But as soon as Jake showed up, he was back at it, making fun of Sarah’s outfit and rolling his eyes whenever she spoke,” she explained.
“I could literally see her getting smaller and smaller in her seat, and I just couldn’t hold it in anymore. I ended up saying something in the heat of the moment. I called him out right there in front of everyone, saying he was treating her like garbage and she deserves way better.”

“I thought I was being a good friend, trying to make her see how messed up he is. But then I totally crossed a line and brought up some personal stuff Sarah had shared with me, thinking it would wake her up.”
Right after she got the words out, silence swept over her friends. Sarah sat there, shocked, and then she began crying.
Jake freaked out on her, accusing her of betraying Sarah and destroying their relationship. As this happened, the rest of her friends simply stared.
Sarah eventually got up and left her home in a huff. She followed after Sarah, but Sarah wouldn’t engage with her.
Since that night, which went sideways, she’s called and texted Sarah, but Sarah is actively ghosting her.
“I feel awful because I never meant to hurt her, but I thought I was standing up for her,” she said. “Some of our friends say I did the right thing by calling Jake out, while others think I really messed up by putting her on blast in front of everyone.”
She’s left wondering if she was a jerk for going after Jake in front of all their friends at the party.
